Claude, the AI-powered app development platform, has introduced a new feature that allows developers to build, host, and share interactive AI-powered apps directly within the Claude app. This move aims to simplify the process of creating complex AI applications without worrying about scaling costs.
With this update, users can create artifacts that interact with the Claude API, turning them into fully-fledged AI-powered apps. Here’s how it works:
* Users authenticate with their existing Claude account.
* The app counts against their subscription, not yours, ensuring you pay nothing for usage.
* No API keys or management required.
Claude generates real code to orchestrate complex AI functionality, allowing users to see, modify, and share it freely. Early adopters have already built interactive apps for:
AI-powered games
Learning tools
Data analysis apps
Writing assistants
To get started, simply describe your idea in the Claude app, and the platform will generate the code for you. As you work together, Claude can debug and improve its own code based on user feedback.
Key features include:
* Using a Claude API within artifacts
* Processing files with React
* Seeing, fork, and customizing any artifact
However, this feature is currently in beta and comes with limitations, including:
* No external API calls (yet)
* No persistent storage
* Limited to a text-based completion API
This capability is available to Free, Pro, and Max plan users.
